4 Cooperative Kitchen.

The scheme has been actually carried
into effect in New York, 50 far as some
of the great apartment houses are con
cerned. In them there ia one kitchen for
many families, and it is presided over by
a high priced cook, such a man as only
the richest single families are able 10 en-
ploy. Provisions are bought wholesale,
and there is a variety in the fare not pos
sible in an ordinary household with its
own kitchen. The housemaids are also
supplied by the manager, in whose pay
and under whose discipline they are, and
the establishment furnishes, besides, me-
chanics and porters for the common con-
venience. Therefore, a family may OBJ
tain cookery and service which only the
very rich are able TO secure in another
than a cooperative household.
Yet people who have lived in such
apartment houses have often become dis
satisfied with them. The cookery is res
taurant cookery, and something Of the
character Of the home is lost. Life istoo
easy, and ONE may sigh for the occu-
pations with which the old fashioned
household provided them. But the Lon
don writer is correct in his provision
when he says that something like asso-
ciated homes is clearly indicated for the
future. New York Sun.

Water for the SYsfem.

Pure, ripe, juicy fruits furnish the best,
most wholesome and agreeable supply Of
water for the system, and there are few
people who use one-quarter as much fruit
as a state of perfect health would indicate
or demand. but this fruit should be taken
at or form the principal part of our
meals and never be eaten between meals,
especially SO, if more than two regular
meals are taken daily. Hot water drink
ing, which has amounted almost to a
mania in manv places during the past
few years, was nothing more nor less than
internal bathing. Suppose the system Is
filled with some form Of impuTity, caus-
ing congestion and disease, the patient
drinks one, two or even three quarts of
water daily, as many do who visit the
springs and watering places. The same
snantity Of water must pass out of
the system through the skin, kidneys
or some other emunctories of the body,
and in no case does it pass out as pure
water, but becomes loaded with Gillette
matter, which it takes up and expels.-

Had Learned Another Way,

One winter evening. not many wears
ago, at Doylestown, Pa. three Young
lawyers Were seated at a table in the law
library room playing cards. One of them
had recently been admitted to practice
law, and during the evening he frequently
used the expression, 1T is me- The in.

ears of the other two lawyers. and dt last

GATHERING ELDER DOWN.
How the stupid Birds Pluck on Their
own Feathers for the Use Of Man.

How the stupid Birds Pluck Om Their
own Feathers for the Use Of Man..
The elder duck constitutes the wealth,
and may I've said to be the providence. Of
the lcelanders. To study this bird in its
favorite haunts it is only necessary to
take a boat at Reikiayik and pay n visit
TO three islands situated in front If the
harbor. They are named Widely, Engey
and Akrey. Here the ducks lair and
make their nests every year about the be-
ginning of June. When the female has
chosen the place where she wishes To lay
her eggs she plucks from her plumnge
the feathers which she uses 10 line the
bottom and sides of her nest: then she
generally lays six eggs, rarely more.
During this time the drake, more jealous
of his marital prerogatives than wa
Caesar. like the good father of a family
that he is, ceases not for a moment to
keep a watchful eye on his consort. and
fetches her back instantly if she gives the
slightest indication of wishing TO take a
walk. This curious phenomenon Of a
male more careful of his offspring than
the female has been confirmed by nu-
merous observations. But perhaps his
motive in this is simply jealousy.
The next day the owner OF the land
comes and carries away at the same time
both the down and eggs. The unfortu-
nate couple, which sometimes make a
stout resistance, clinging to the clothes of
the robber with their beaks, go off ashort
distance and begin again: but the bondi
(farmer) comes NC more and takes the
precious deposit. The indefatigalle
mother goes to work anew, and this time
only a part of the eggs are taken: for il
all were removed the depredator in de-
string too much would lose all. But this
reserve is made solely as regards the eggs,
for the down is removed once every
week. and the poor mother continues to
strip herself until she finds herself so
bare that she has no longer wherewithal
to line the moist hole that contains her
egg. The male. squatted near her, then
comes TO her assistance, and he. too,
strips himself Of his plumage. a quality
of down that the lcelanders distinguish
easily from hat Of the female, because it
is white and taken from the creatures

Extraordinary Fscane.

A remarkable and almost incredible ad-
venture is reported by Ross shire CORE
spondent of the London press.
While Christina M'Ivor, a middle aged
woman belonging to the parish of Loeb
broom, was on her way to Kinlochewe a
few days ago, she accidentally stumbled and
fell over one of the many precipices that
skirt the margin of Loeb Maree. A tree
growing from a cleft in the rock miracu-
lousy intercepted her fall and prevented
her plunging into the deep waters beneath.
To this tree the woman chung with the grip
of despair until she had partially recovered
from the stunning effects of her dreadful
fall. Beneath her was sheer rock washed
by the dark waters of the lake; above a
rock impossible to climb; and to add to the
misery of the poor woman's situation, she
became painfully sensible of the fact that
her right leg was broken below the knee.
The place was miles away from the near
est house. In this painful extremity she
noticed a protecting ledge close by the tree,
and by efforts which can he more easily
imagined than described she managed to
crawl or drag herself to this place of COM
parative safety. The pain in the fractured
limb, intensified by her efforts, was fright
full, and she lay quite exhausted and ex-
posed to the elements, having lost her shawl
in the fall. In this perilous and exposed
condition she remained from the Saturday
until the following Monday afternoon
three days and two nights-without food or
shelter Of any kind, shaking her feverish
thirst by water which trickled from the
rocks overhead, and which she caught in
her boots.
On Monday she noticed boat passing,
and using her little remaining strength, she
managed to attract the attention of its occu-
pants TO her dangerous position. BY skill
full manPuvring on the part of the fisher
men, the poor woman was lowered into the
boat, taken to Poolewe, and thence sent to
Ullapool, where she now lies under the care
of the parish doctor.
